The Caspian House is a study in turning constraints into centerpieces. Positioned along Westlake Avenue at the edge of MacRitchie Reservoir, the residence transforms its most challenging site condition - the adjacent Lornie Highway - into its most atmospheric feature. The rear façade is engineered as a solid acoustic shield, while a cascading waterfall screens urban noise through the constancy of moving water, cooling the air and defining the spatial mood of the home’s social heart.
An Architectural Dialogue
Winner of the 2026 International Property Award for Best Residential Development (Singapore), the design breaks from traditional semi-detached symmetry. It acts as a sophisticated "architectural cousin" to its neighbor - sharing a language of form while asserting a unique, fluid identity. A 15.2m "green ribbon" of tropical planting mimics the reservoir’s edge, acting as a living biophilic screen that shields a dramatic arrival.
Social Registers and Thermal Performance
Conceived as a private resort for an owner who entertains at scale, the home is organized as a vertical sequence of social registers. The ground floor dissolves into an L-shaped Green Sukabumi stone pool, where a double-height hall acts as a grand spatial anchor and a thermal chimney. By drawing breezes across the water’s surface, the architecture utilizes passive evaporation to naturally cool the living spaces. Every spatial transition - from the Volakas marble social levels to the attic-level master retreat - is purposefully choreographed to elevate daily rituals.
Resilience and Longevity
Sustainability is woven into the home’s DNA. The project features low-VOC Boloni modular joinery to a future-proofed Solar PV infrastructure. A passenger lift ensures the residence remains effortless at every life stage. Water is not decoration here; it is spatial architecture, acoustic engineering, and sensory identity simultaneously. This is a home designed to earn its place over decades.
